Hi Folks,

I'm an absolute newbie here, trying to get my bearings with tiddlywiki. I was wondering if there exists a plugin (or might it be easy enough to put together on my own with minimal programming experience) that can get the word count from the text area of a tiddler and deposit that count in an info field. Is that possible? And how might I go about it. And like, I said, absolute tiddlywiki novice here. So expalin to me like I'm 10 years old.

You folks have built an amazing tool in tiddlywiki by the way. It's absolutely amazing.

Best regards,

Adam

Hi and welcome Adam,

If you want to count while editing have a look at my plugin Editor Counter:
https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html

It is based on Jed's work.

Have fun!
Thomas
